Five Bedrooms, a Pool, and Downstairs Living in Shadow Lakes

A freshened Shadow Lakes home across from Heritage High — five bedrooms, roughly 3,136 square feet, a full bedroom and bath downstairs, loft upstairs, and a backyard pool ready for East County summer.

Five bedrooms. Over 3,100 square feet. A pool. A full bedroom and bathroom downstairs. That's the shortlist filter this Shadow Lakes tour is built for.

Ryan walks a roughly 3,136-square-foot home on about 6,000 square feet of lot — built in 2001 — with new paint and carpet called out on camera so day-one living doesn't start with a flooring project. Shadow Lakes sits among Brentwood's most asked-about golf / recreation communities; this pocket also puts you across from Heritage High School.

Space that flexes

Formal living with a slider to a shaded courtyard nook. Formal dining. An open kitchen-family flow typical of early-2000s Brentwood volume builders — then the differentiator: ground-floor bedroom plus full bath for guests, office, or anyone who needs a level without climbing stairs every night. Upstairs adds a loft plus the remaining bedrooms.

Outside, the pool is the headline amenity. In East County heat, that's not decoration — it's how a lot of households actually use the backyard from May through October.

Shadow Lakes context

Wide streets, golf-course community identity, and the Brentwood school conversation all travel with this address band. Read the wider picture in living in Brentwood.

Who should watch

Buyers who need bedroom count and outdoor water, prefer a community with recreation baked in, and want freshened interiors rather than a full gut. Still choosing a town?
